The search giant has gained exclusive access to the iconic Abbey Road studios and has produced a slick little VR experience for its Cardboard VR viewer.

Google Cardboard is by far the cheapest VR "headset" you can currently get. It's a £14.99 piece of foldable cardboard with a couple of lenses stuck in it. Like the Samsung Galaxy Gear, it uses your smartphone as its display.

The Abbey Road experience can be had by downloading the Android app (Google says an iOS version is coming soon) and stick your phone inside the viewer.

You'll be given a tour of the studio narrated by Giles Martin, the son of late Beatles producer George Martin . Afterwards, you're free to wander the studio in virtual reality and take a look at where bands like the Beatles and Pink Floyd recorded.

"If you can hum the theme to "Star Wars," "Harry Potter" or "Indiana Jones," or you’ve sung along to tracks by Pink Floyd or Oasis, or even if you own a pair of stereo headphones, then you’ve been impacted by the work of Abbey Road," said Tom Seymour, creative lead and self-described audiophile at Google's Creative Lab in London.

"You can explore every nook and cranny of Abbey Road with more than 150 different 360-degree panoramic images," he said.

"Inside Abbey Road is part of our broader effort to help people experience worldwide culture and places from wherever they are, whether it’s visiting the Pyramids of Giza in Google Maps or getting up close to the brush strokes of Van Gogh in the Google Art Project."
